Institutional Code: 6919

International applicants whose first language is not English must provide proof of English language proficiency before being admitted to a graduate program. UTSA recognizes the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) as measures of English language proficiency.

If you have not taken the TOEFL/IELTS or if your score is more than two years old, you will need to take the exam and submit the official score prior to your application's review at the department for the program.

GRE OR GMAT TEST SCORES:

Please submit official GRE or GMAT test scores depending on your program of interest. Please refer to program requirements and application deadline for more information. Please check your program of interest to determine if GRE/GMAT scores are required for your program of interest. Test scores must be received directly from ETS to be considered official. We do not consider photocopies or scanned copies of test scores to be an official score report.

The Educational Testing Service (ETS) code for the University of Texas at San Antonio is 6919.

An applicant whose program of interest requires either the GRE or GMAT is required to submit the official test scores prior to rendering a decision.

UTSA offers preparatory workshops, which are a fraction of the cost, through the Office of Extended Education. You may contact them for additional information
